In a statewide broadcast on Tuesday, which he shared on his X handle, Mutfwang acknowledged that while protesting is a constitutional right, he urged citizens to consider dialogue as an alternative. He warned that if the #EndBadGovernanceinNigeria protest continued, it could be further hijacked by hoodlums causing harm to hard-working residents.
The PDP governor pointed out that the disturbances caused by hoodlums on Monday confirmed the necessity of the curfew. He said, “The continuation of the protest increases the risk of it being taken over by sponsored criminals and hoodlums, as seen from Sunday evening based on our intelligence. We identified that the lawful protests were infiltrated by criminals looking for opportunities to loot and attack innocent citizens.”
Mutfwang also mentioned that some intruders were seen displaying foreign flags, which further justified the imposition of the 24-hour curfew starting from Sunday midnight. He added, “The resistance by hoodlums in parts of Jos North from Monday morning to afternoon reinforces that our curfew decision was right.”
He revealed that due to Plateau State’s relative peace, violent elements from neighboring states were reportedly brought in to create unrest. The governor appealed to citizens to halt further protests to allow for meaningful dialogue with their leaders.
